Why is the QA&CPD Program emphasising Category 1 activities in 2008–2010?
Category 1 activities are more likely to generate positive practice outcomes. The high educational standards supported by the RACGP are embodied in Category 1 activities that promote individual needs assessment, active learning, and reinforcing strategies. Consequently, the 2008–2010 QA&CPD Program is placing increased emphasis on Category 1 activities by: • accepting full Category 1 applications from all Provider organisations and individual GPs • allocating 40 CPD points to standard Category 1 activities • increasing the diversity of Category 1 modules available.
